Writing

I am fortunate enough to have been featured in three whole anthologies in 2016, along with a whole bunch of wonderful people whose stories are awesome and you should read them all (and not just these ones!)

In order of being accepted – not the same as publishing order – they were:

I cannot even remember why I was invited to contribute to this, but obviously I jumped at the chance (well, after my good fortune in being accepted into Women In Practical Armour, and it still took a week of cowering a week behind the sofa, gibbering), and to my surprise, I was accepted!

Maybe it’s because they do ‘first come, first served’ if you match the criteria, but it was still an enormous ego boost, especially when I discovered that one of my ‘anthology buddies’ from Women In Practical Armour was in the same edition! Also, his story in this rocks!

I was overwhelmed, as well as delighted, to be invited to submit to this anthology, because the group is one I actually have ties to. Very mild ties – I was a very brief attendee, back in the day when I was even worse at venturing any kind of criticism, let alone the constructive kind that the group excelled at. In fact, my panic at feeling I had nothing to offer lead to my fleeing the scene – I simply had no idea what advice to give to other authors, who all seemed far more knowledgeable than I was, and I felt like a sham. Can you imagine my surprise when a group whose members include internationally renowned authors (one of whom my partner is a massive fan of) asked if I had anything to contribute for their consideration? I was doubly surprised when they actually accepted the one story I had ever offered them!
